On exhibit are the remains of a 3.2 million year old australopithicus afarensis skeleton, better known as ‘Lucy’, as well as a collection of the colourful regalia of former emperors. We visit the Holy Trinity Cathedral, a flamboyant mixture of architectural styles and the final resting place of Ethiopia’s last emperor, Haile Selassie. In the cathedral gardens are the tombs of many patriots who died fighting the Italian occupation, including the grave of British suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst. This afternoon we make a special visit to the Fistula Hospital and Hamlin College of Midwives, established by Australian gynaecologist Catherin Hamlin and her late husband. Tonight we enjoy a welcome dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Addis Ababa (B, L, D) Saturday September 15 Bahar Dar An early start this morning for our flight to Bahar Dar on Ethiopian Airlines. Bahar Dar is beautifully situated along the southern shore of Lake Tana, often referred to as the ‘watershed of Africa’ and a magnet for some of Africa’s colourful birdlife. A drive through the countryside, followed by a 40-minute walk, brings us to Tissisat Falls, where the Blue Nile River drops over the edge of a lava flow. Towards sunset we visit a viewpoint to see the source of the Blue Nile as it flows out of Lake Tana. Dinner is in the hotel. Overnight Bahar Dar (B, L, D) Sunday September 16 Lake Tana This morning we board a boat on tranquil Lake Tana to reach the Zege Peninsula. After walking through small villages and coffee plantations we visit the isolated church of Mahal Girgiss, which contains beautifully crafted manuscripts, and Ura Kidanemehret, the most well-known of the peninsula’s monasteries. Local churchmen will explain the wonderful Coptic artwork and religious stories, which often differ from more familiar biblical versions. Some of these churches have treasuries where religious memorabilia and ancient artefacts are kept. Overnight Bahar Dar (B, D) Monday September 17 Gondar Leaving Bahar Dar we drive 185 kms around the shoreline of Lake Tana to reach Gondar in historic Begemder Province, and a former 17th–18th century capital of Ethiopia. After lunch we visit the World Heritage-listed Royal Enclosure, containing numerous restored castles and palaces. The most impressive of these is Fasilidas’ Castle, reputedly the work of an Indian architect. Also within the grounds is Iyasu’s Palace, once sumptuously decorated with gilded Venetian mirrors and goldleaf and Dawit’s Hall, where many religious ceremonies and lavish entertainments took place. Overnight Gondar (B, L, D) Tuesday September 18 The royal Enclosure and Qusqwam Today we enjoy a more expansive city tour, including the delightful Fasilidas’ Baths where sections of the walls are enveloped by tree roots, and Debre Birhan Selassie Church, with its painted ceiling of angels’ faces. We also see the Qusqwam ruins, built by Empress Mentewab in the 18th century after the death of her husband, Emperor Bakafa, and visited by Scottish adventurer James Bruce soon after completion of his journey to discover the source of the Blue Nile. Overnight Gondar (B, L, D) Wednesday September 19 Drive to Simien Mountains Leaving Gondar we drive out to the remains of a Felasha village, abandoned only recently by its Jewish inhabitants, thought to be the direct descendants of Emperor Menelik, who reigned almost 3,000 years ago. Approaching the Simien Mountains the landscape is a rugged mixture of jagged peaks and deep gorges, sparsely populated by farmers and herders. Our hotel is a great base from which to walk in the spectacular highlands towards stunning viewpoints and try to spot Gelada Baboons and lammergeyers.

The town of Gondar is located in Northwestern Ethiopia and it has outstanding and outstay world cultural heritage resources situated at its hub. However, these stunning properties are threatened with multidimensional heritage management problems. So, the main aim of this paper is to identify the main and existing challenges and show the severity of the problems in comparison with different case studies in the world. It compiled through qualitative research method with descriptive research design. And data were collected through survey, participant observation and photographic documentation and interpretation. The collected data also compiled by qualitative method of data analysis. The main and the existing challenges of Gondar’s world heritage sites, specifically of the Fasil Ghebbi and the baths are plant overgrowth, human activities on the immediate vicinity of the sites (that leads to vibration of the structures and noise disturbance), negligence, visitors pressure, improper conservation, nonexistence or inapplicability of heritage management plan, Lack of tourist follow-up system as a means for deliberate graffiti of heritages, lack of cooperation among the concerned bodies and unavailability of directions and instructions.

These episodes left the empire much weakened andfragmented by the mid-seventeenth century.

  • Land Tenure and Agrarian Social Structure in Ethiopia, 1636-1900

    Land Tenure and Agrarian Social Structure in Ethiopia, 1636-1900

    LAND TENURE AND AGRARIAN SOCIAL STRUCTURE IN ETHIOPIA, 1636-1900 BY HABTAMU MENGISTIE TEGEGNE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Donald Crummey, Chair Associate Professor Carol Symes Professor Emeritus Charles Stewart Assistant Professor James Brennan Associate Professor Kenneth Cuno Abstract Most scholars have viewed property in pre-modern Ethiopia in ―feudal‖ terms analogous to medieval Europe. According to them, Ethiopia‘s past property arrangement had been in every respect archaic implying less than complete property rights, for, unlike in modern liberal societies, it vested no ownership or ―absolute‖ rights in a single individual over a material object. By draining any notions of ownership right, historians therefore characterized the forms of property through which the Ethiopian elites supported themselves as ―fief-holding‖ or rights of lordship, which merely entitled them to collect tribute from the subject peasantry. By using land registers, surveys, charters, and private property transactions, which I collected from Ethiopian churches and monasteries, this dissertation challenges this conception of property in premodern Ethiopia by arguing that Ethiopian elites did exercise ownership rights over the land, thus providing them a means by which to control the peasantry. Through the concepts of rim (a form of private property in land exclusively held by social elites) and zéga (a hitherto unrecognized serf-like laborers), I explore the economic and social relationship between rulers and ruled that defined political culture in premodern Ethiopia.

    Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2012 E.C (2019/20) Academic year Third Quarter History Handout 4 for Grade 11 Students Dear students! This handout is prepared to acquaint you with the history of Ethiopia from the seventeenth century until the middle of the nineteenth century. It can be said that it is a sequel of the previous chapter that deals with the major events of the sixteenth century. As such, this handout treats such events as the Catholics encounter, the Gondar period and the momentous period of the Zemene Mesafint or the Era of Princes. My beloved Students! Take caution and keep yourself and your family from the Coronavirus. Since you are the sons and daughters of the country and of course, heirs of the current generation, your motherland, above all things, needs your health and survival. I have a great hope that we will reunite as soon as the existing situation reversed and things return to normal. Unit 9 The Ethiopian Christian Highland Kingdom (1543-1855) 9.1. Catholicization and Civil wars The Portuguese soldiers, who helped the Christian kingdom to gain victory over the Adal Muslim Sultanate, remained in Ethiopia. Other Portuguese Catholic missionaries who know under the name Jesuits or the Society of Jesus came to preach Catholicism in Ethiopia in 1557. The aim of the Jesuits was to convert the people into Catholicism. As a preliminary to this, they strove to convert the Christian kings into Catholicism. It was at first emperor Gelawdewos whom the Jesuits tried to convert but they failed to do so due to the emperor’s unwillingness.

    Power, Church and the Gult System in Gojjam, Ethiopia

    Power, Church and the Gult System in Gojjam, Ethiopia POWER, CHURCH AND THE GULT SYSTEM IN GOJJAM, ETHIOPIA Temesgen Gebeyehu BAYE Bahir Dar University, Faculty of Social Sciences Department of History POB: 2190, Ethiopia [email protected] Since the introduction of Christianity to Ethiopia, there had been an interdependence between the state and the church. Both parties benefited from this state of affairs. The Orthodox Church played as the ideological arm of the state. The king became head not only of the state, but also of the church. The church enjoyed royal protection and patronage, ranging in concrete terms like the granting of land, called the gult system. The gult system was an important economic institution and connection between the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the state. The system was essentially a political and economic relations between the state, the church and the cultivators. It not only included tribute and administrative rights, but also entailed direct control over land. In the Ethiopian academics, the issue of the gult system has been treated and examined in its totality. There is an evident gap in our knowledge of the dynamics of the gult system and its ideological, administrative, political and economic implications. This paper, based on published and unpublished materials, examines the dynamics of gult, state and church relations intersectionally. It attempts to identify changes and continuities in the basic pattern of relations and a variety of institutional linkages. To this end, a great deal of archive collections on Gojjam Governorate General from the Ethiopian National Archives and Library Agency has been consulted and reviewed to add new and useful insights and understandings on relations and interests between the cultivators, the church and state.

  • Land Rights and Expropriation in Ethiopia

    Land Rights and Expropriation in Ethiopia

    KTH Architecture and the Built Environment LAND RIGHTS AND EXPROPRIATION IN ETHIOPIA Daniel Weldegebriel Ambaye Doctoral Thesis in Land Law Real Estate Planning and Land Law Department of Real Estate and Construction Management School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Stockholm, 2013 Academic Dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Author: Daniel Weldegebriel Ambaye Title: Land Rights and Expropriation in Ethiopia ISBN 978-91-85783-36-6 TRITA-FOB-PHD 2013:5 Daniel Weldegebriel Ambaye Real Estate Planning and Land Law Department of Real Estate and Construction Management School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) SE- 100 44 Stockholm Sweden Abstract This study examines and analyses the expropriation laws and practices in Ethiopia. The objective of the thesis is to analyze and describe the land rights and expropriation laws in Ethiopia and to compare them with the practice in order to determine the fairness of compensation. The study is made against the Ethiopian Constitution and other subsidiary legislations which provide the basic land rights and the nature and details of expropriation. The basic argument made in this thesis is that even if the Ethiopian Constitution provides and guarantees common ownership of land (together with the state) to the people, this right has not been fully realized whether in terms of land accessibility, enjoyablity, and payment of fair compensation in the event of expropriation. The reasons have to do either with the faulty nature of the laws or with their implementation by public authorities. From the outset, the constitution excludes land as a subject of compensation.
